I've been up against it on posts lately, but the old reliable upcoming releases rises again. We are about to enter a holiday in the US, which I actually don't have off. I'll get paid handsomely for my time so it's all good. I might even buy records with my excess money. Or, with the …

S-Tier Songs, Vol. 14
Here we are yet again for another edition of S-Tier songs. The list of prior entries and the criteria can be found here. I'm at an odd place with this series – I've been looking to get a variety of artists on here before I start repeating acts. But also this has been running for …
Album Of The Week – August 29, 2022
This week it's anniversary time again, as the album in question was released on August 25 a very, very long time ago. The record had an immediate impact and became a huge success, still standing in the US today as the second-best selling debut album of all time. Boston – self-titled Released August 25, 1976 …
Album Of The Week – August 22, 2022
Yesterday, August 21, marked the 25th anniversary of a monumental album. While the band's first two records would be known as worldwide sensations, their third one was a bloated mess that sold like hotcakes on release but quickly soured among the fans. It would be the final nail in the coffin of the musical movement …
S-Tier Songs, Vol. 13
It's time yet again for another edition of S-Tier songs. Here's a list of who's in so far and the criteria behind it all. It looks like unlucky number thirteen is up. What against the odds, damn it all band could possibly live up to that distinction? Motörhead – Ace Of Spades https://youtu.be/3mbvWn1EY6g This homage …
Upcoming Releases – The Next Few Months
I set this aside for a moment as the new stuff wasn't coming out with as great a frequency, but of course I wait a little more than a week and it all hits at once. Plenty from across the spectrum to talk about this time around. Dieth – In The Hall Of The Hanging …
Album Rankings – Motley Crüe
I'm going to debut a new series today, though it's one that might not stick around in written form for too long. My original intent was to do these as videos but time to make them proves ever-elusive, and I'm tired of sitting on this content that I originally compiled a year ago. This will …
Guns N Roses – Civil War
I figured I would jump in with what a lot of other bloggers do and start going through my collection of music singles. It's a pretty easy way for me to add another post each week – just pick out something and talk a bit about it. For the first few months I'll go over …
Album Of The Week – July 11, 2022
This week I'm time traveling back to 1998. I was just kind of listening to whatever at the time, I was far more pre-occupied with “grown up” business than I was music. But of the handful of things to catch my ear, this alt-rock gem really grabbed my attention. It also grabbed the attention of …
GTA Vice City – VRock
Yesterday I talked a bit about the unique and game-making soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Today I want to elaborate a bit on the game's rock and metal station. If anything screams 1980's it's rock and metal, and the game got it right on their own metal station, V-Rock. V-Rock was the quintessential …
